Again, if the polls are still tight by Friday, as they say in baseball, tie goes to the runner. The campaign that is most effective at "running" to get there supporters to the polls will win. That takes resources and organization, and the Romney campaign is way ahead of any campaign in both of those areas in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Excerpt:

History

NAMBLA emerged from the tumultuous political atmosphere of the 1970s, particularly from the leftist wing of the Gay Liberation movement which followed the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City. Although discussion of gay adult-minor sex did take place, gay rights groups immediately following the Stonewall Riot were more concerned with issues of police harassment, nondiscrimination in employment, health care and other areas.

--------------------------------------------

And also, Harry Hay's, the founder of Stonewall and NAMBLA, was affiliated with communism:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1794584/posts?page=91#91

Excerpt:

Harry Hay
Pioneer, coalition-builder and radical faerie

A tall and muscular young man, Hay worked as both an extra and ghostwriter in 1930s Hollywood. He developed a passion for theater, and performed on Los Angeles stages with Anthony Quinn in the 1930s, and with Will Geer, who became his lover. Geer (who later generations grew to love as Grandpa Walton on the TV series “The Waltons”), took Hay to the San Francisco General Strike of 1934, and indoctrinated him into the American Communist Party. Hay became an active trade unionist. A blend of Marxist analysis and stagecraft strongly influenced his later gay organizing.

Despite a decade of gay life, in 1938 Hay married the late Anita Platky, also a Communist Party member. The couple were stalwarts of the Los Angeles Left.

---------------------------------------

So, anyone affiliated with Stonewall, Human Rights Campaign, GLBT, Lavender Caucus, Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition, Log Cabin Republicans, VictoryFunds, and some others ALL have published, admitted, affiliations of this group. Therefore they are also affiliated with NAMBLA, Communism and the antiwar movement.

Stonewall's AntiWar movement funded by International A.N.S.W.E.R.

This doesn’t exactly give me the warm & fuzzies, especially since Romney threatened to impose his health care scheme on all of us if elected (ref: DesMoines Register-sponsored debate).

Huckabee's emergence as a front-runner was followed by intense media scrutiny

That is a stretch.

Most of the scrutiny came from other candidates and the Internet blogs and message boards, not from much of the MSM who were pushing for Huckabee.

I imagine he was ahead all this time..but the MSM wanted to push their choice candidates....Huckabee and McCain because they are afraid of Romney. Since the Iowa caucuses are closely approaching they don’t want to lose their credibility so they post legitimate poll numbers

Mike Huckabee's lashing out

Many of Huckabee's responses made him sound like 'poor widdle me' and whiney. That made him less appealing as a potential presidential figure.

“Again, if the polls are still tight by Friday, as they say in baseball, tie goes to the runner.”

I’m not convinced Romney winning by a point or two would give him much of a ‘bounce’ coming out of Iowa. On the other hand, if McCain should somehow pull out a strong 3rd place showing, that would give him the momentum going into New Hampshire.

A very exciting race. It could be the ultimate nominee is not in the race yet.

It's starting to work out as I thought: despite the Huckaboom, Mitt (especially his ground troops) will carry this pretty easily. McCain could come in #3.

It's Mitt and McCain in NH, where indies can vote in either primary, and depending on who the GOP frontrunner is, some indies might vote as Dems to see that Hillary loses. Gonna be interesting.

I still think Mitt will win the first four primaries, Fred will drop out, Huck will plummet, and Rudy will recover on Super Tues. for a four-way race.

I prefer Fred, and for that matter, Duncan. But if Mitt gets the nomination, I’ll vote for him. Probably also donate to him. He is, in my estimation, acceptable.

I haven’t given up on Fred, however. I can only hope he’s still in the running when the primaries come to my state.

I think Fred Thompson and John Edwards are gaining some last minute traction in Iowa. I expect them to do better than the polls say.

Thompson is getting most of the Tancredo supporters and taking some support away from Huckabee.

Edwards has a formidable caucus organization (me thinks many of the Obama supporters won’t show ... Obama will do worse than expected).

I still don't think Romney will get the nomination. Too many flip-flops.

I don’t know how much of a surge it really is - you have perhaps the best polling outfit, Mason Dixon, saying Mitt is ahead 4%, which is good for Mitt, then you have another that has him still tied with Huckabee. The 9% ahead shouldn’t be trusted because it’s ARG, where I suspect those with name recognition are greatly over-represented (for example, it has Giuliani surging despite no presence other than a mailer or two).

Mitt is the only one running who has met a payroll
and who ran the business successfully.

Mitt is pro-life, for smaller government, anti-illegal immigrants, pro-business-growth,
has top level education,for strong defense, can spend his own money running
against Hillary, looks good on TV, and is quick witted on the stump.

Best of all he is the only one with ONE WIFE for 40 Years!
He LIVES AND PRACTICES A MORAL LIFE.

Mitt is good enough for me. I am not looking for any “pure” candidates.

President Reagan was the most conservative president in 60 years and government spending tripled during his 8 years and over million abortions took place during his reign.

I don’t think Romney will do any worse.

For the life of me, I can’t understand how any “Conservative” could ever vote for either Huckabee or Romney.
